Automated phone calls

On the back of the bogus threat does anyone know how to stop the automated ones, just had "it has been bought to the governments attention energy suppliers etc............." Also had PPI ones or whatever they are called, a survey one and of course the one you pick up and it says "Goodbye" We are registered with TPS but that does not stop these..............
